hello there,
I ported my number over from giffgaff a few months ago but when i text certain people it is still showing as the temp number the sim came with, when i look at the about this phone section and the sim information it is showing as the temp number also.
i can't edit the number on these sections, is there any way to ge tthis fixed?

Hi @Bhoydy
Thanks for coming here.
Does the same happen if you call these numbers?
Are you using the Samsung messaging app or a third party/chat app?

Thanks @Bhoydy
If you give us a call on 150, the team can complete a network refresh to see if this updates the number for you.
Let me know how you get on 🙂
